L0nllIng's Professional succrss.

There is something remarkable in the
professional success which has attended
Mr. Conkling since he was forced out of
politics. AS n general thing, the lawyer
who is long in political life becomes q
lawyer only in name. He may pass for
ono when among those not learned in
the law, but among practitioners he
passes for politician. The reason for
this is obvious. The laws of Parliament
or Congress are not the rules Of Courts
or the decisions of the Justices, and only
the natural lawyer follows the latter after
the necessity for doing SO has passed.
Conkling meyer abandoned the custom.
While in public life he pursued his
studies as diligently as when only q
struggling beginner, and the result was
that he was not generation behind the
age when he resumed the practice Of his
profession. Few Now York lawyers
make half as much money as 10, and il
is said that few save more than he hos
saved in recent years.

our Mexican rrado.

The large and growing trade of Mexico
ought to be controlled by the United States
Commercial intercourse between the two
countries has been hitherto hindered by q
Mexican tariff which practically excluded
those articles which the United States could
best have supplied. There was no benefit
to Mexico from this tariff. 1t did not pro
tect any considerable home industries, aud
It was laid principally upon articles. which
are not now produced in Mexico. AS no
effort was made to supply the home market
With home manufactures, these taxes bore
very heavily on the Mexican consumer.
new Mexican tariff schedule has been
arranged to go into effect on the first of
July. In the opinion of those who are most
familiar with tic condition and needs of
Mexico, the new tariff will give decided
impetus to our trade with that country.
The Mexican reciprocity treaty now pend
ing has for its object the establishment Of
closer and more extensive CCnncrcial rala.
tiOnS between the United States ard M. y.
leo. 1t has been ratified by tho Senate, but
the House has never passed the legislation
necessary to its enforcement. There will
not be so great q deunand for this treaty
| now that Mexico has so revised her tariff
| as to accomplish at least in pa:t, the enas
| aimed at in the treaty. Many of the prin,
cipal articles which our merchants aud
| manufacturers would have exported to
| Mexico If the treaty had been ratified, will
be found on the Mexican free list after The
first Of July. So far as it goes, the new
| Mexican tariff is better for us than :. rsl:iD.
rocity treaty would be. 1t grants lis sorie
| very valuable privileges and CXucts IN re-
t9rh no concessions on our p0rt.-1tUntd
| Constitution.

Few Of the men, perhaps not even
Senator Ingalls, himself, who will be
satisfied with nothing but war with
Canada, have little knowledge of the
enormous interests that would be i'm
p"rilcd by such conflict. According
to the report of the Bureau of Statistics
the exports from the United States to
the Dominion in 1886 were of the value
Of $i.i, 858, ,039, of which sum 500, ,659,-
$40 represents tie value Of dutinble mer-
chandIso and $15, 1913, 1853 the value of
merchandise free of duty. The Canadian
customs officers report much larger
figures. The value Of our importations
from Canada in 1886 was, according to
their figures, 1897, ,314, ,636, of which $780,
800, 103 WAS the value Of dutiable mer-
chandise and $12,005, ,533 the value OF
free wares. The value, therefore, of the
commerce imperiled by the passage OF
the fisheries retaliation bill is in the
ncighborhood of $82, 100000. Our ex,
ports to tho entire British North Ameri-
can possessions in 1886 were of the value
of $I0, ,773, 1882; our imports therefrom
$37, ,49G, ,338, making total commerce OF
1897, ,2G9, $40 likely to be be affected more
or less by retaliation. Tho total i'm.
portations of fish in the same period
were worth 1857, $40, over one-fourth OF
the value of tho fish importation from
all parts of the world. The number OF
New England vessels engaged in catch.
ing tho cod, mackerel, herring and food
fishes and menhaden in 1886 was 1000,
employing 1G,4 400 men, tWo-thirds OF
whom are Canadians.

The New York ECening Post, and other
papers, ever since the Kansas election
have been defining the lessons of that
election" In Lcavcnworth the scenes are
described as bordering on disgrace, and the
hostile editors are still making great ado.
The Springfield Republican,, however,
comes to the rescue of the fair voters in this
way: If the misconduct or wrong judg-
ment of a few Kansas women is TO wcigh
against the rights OF the whole sex to take
part in the government Of the State they
helped TO fVuad and maintain--fOr Kansas
was made free State mole by its women
than.its mcn-what shall VIC say OF the
maze sex there? In the first Kansas cleo
tions, from 1854 to 1859, gossip and scold.

place, and when the vo;e seemed to be going
against one party or the other, it Was Il
favorite method to steal the ballot box or
shoot the inspector of elections. The first
campaign in which women prepared to cast
their legal ballots will contrast very favor
ably with any Of tho election campaigns in
Kansas before the civil war.

Have the Britons Backed Down?

The Toronto, Canada, Globe, referring
to Lord Salisbury's proposition for a
settlement of the fishery question, says:
Lord Salisbury Proposes an abiect sur
render to the Washington gove,-amcnt
not a surrender of anything belonging
to the English or Great Britain, but lie
surrender of an immensely valuable
property belonging to the Britons of
Canada, and the surrender Of eyory main
contention hitherto upheld by the
Canadian people. Wo pointed out the
other day that the issue between Canada
and the United States was such that one
or the other must yield absolutely unless
o general settlement evading tbat issue
could be arrived at. Ono has been
reached.
1t consists in giving everything to the
United States, and in disgracing and dis
honoring the people Of this country as
they could mover be disgraced and dis
honored by manfully defending their
rights to the point of war. The offer of
the tory premier is cowardly, despicable
and treacherous to Canada, and should
it be ratified by the dominion parliament
it will never again be possible to assert
rights to exclude American fishermen
from our inShOre waters

Ills ylows Regarding tho Dude. Of hi. Pstt,

. /.
AT a reception to John G. Carlisle, given
10y the Kentucky Democratic Club in Gov
ington, Mr.. Carlisle made short speech,
from which the following extract is taken:
II want to say to all Democrats that we
would be unworthy Of our name il we al
lowed any number Of reverses to dishearten
us The growth of the Democratic party
in the last 25 years has been wonderful.
At the close OF the war we were entirely
out Of power, we had no office or patron
age, and were practically ostracised from q
share in the affairs of the government. The
Democracy had a political faith founded on
the principle of Jefferson, aud they fought
for it without hope Of reward There has
never been time since 1876 when the ma
iDrity Of the people were not in favor of
the principles of the Democratic party. l
want to impress upon you the necessity of
standing to your principles in any emer-
gCncy and at all elections, no matter how
small aud unimpOrant they seem to be.
No party eau be successful in any country
unless it has principles upon which it will
stake its existence before the people This
country i9 full Of vagareS on the powers of
government Seine want it to become u
GfC0J GlccmoSynary institute for the care of
everybody; some want it TO purchase the
railroads and telegraph lines; some want 1t
to interfere with the peoples private busi-
ness; some want it to loan money to indi-
gent people. 1t IS impossible to cnumcrate
the sChGUlV5 to rob the taxpayers for the
benefit Of somebody else. We must over
COmC the &oCialistic theories abroad in the
land. We must stand everywhere for the
rights of men to do business with their own
money III their own way. If the Demo
cratic party docs not do this it might as
we'll cease to exist"
